What would I do differently....... Ill start by saying I love my truck just as it is. But with any small space, you give this up for that and you just cant put everything into that small space. I liked the sloped rear as I needed it to not drag the truck down every dune and or wash ledge...
No I didn't do any engine mods except tp adjust the throttle cable at the engine to give full throttle. It needed adjusted about 1/4 inch. Stock size tires, just changed fronts from Mich XML with out run flats to Goodyears with run flats. They are just so much heavier a tire. I can stand my old...
I have driven an older Unimog 404 and almost purchased it. Except it topped out at 45mph. The newer ones are amazing but to much $$$,$$$.$$. I have spoken to and met a few guys with the newer Unimogs and they to are not fast and are expensive. They call them "fast tractors" and they are right. I...
I think that if I was going to go for any of those levels of changes or a combo of any of them I would just go with a different chassis all together. As far as these trucks go, I have no real issues with them. But then with the last truck I might have been very lucky and got one in really good...
Masspilot,
Thanks for purchasing my truck so quickly. I know that you will love it and now you have two, One for each foot!!! I will let you know when I will be driving it out to you.

The photo of your truck looks like a solid build. Will you be focusing on the box only or doing upgrades to the truck as well?
I plan on doing the whole project. I always go through the chassis first before even starting on the box. In my opinion, it makes ne sense spending money on a box if...
I think I will build one starting new and use the sale money from this one to offset the new build. You are right Randy, the build is what I like the most. I will not have a problem selling this one I'm sure. Anyone interested in a great camper?! LOL
I don't think that would be an easy method being that the frame is shorter on my truck then the 6x6 has. I do want more wheels on the ground, but also a bit more length to live in also. Currently my box is 16 foot long. I would like to go 20 foot. It would be nice to have some items placed...
Very funny Masspilot. LOL. I'm kicking around a few ideas for the next truck. I am happy with the Military trucks as I have used them through my service and they are easy to fix overall. I may choose a manual transmission on the next one though, just for ease of service and or repair.
Well, I have been kicking around the idea of building a new truck. I think I might just pull the trigger and do it. I would like to build a 6x6 version of what I have now. I have been very happy with what I have built into this current truck, but I am a fabricator at hard and the heart loves to...
